i know ervin and love him. i have never knew him to be violent. i knew him to be a kind funny man who always looked out for other people. i know when we would go out to muskogee bars people would pick on him because they viewed him as an easy target. he carried a knife but i never seen him even take it out as a scare tactic. ervin's mom and brother are good people. people should leave them alone. this is a bad situation for everyone involved but lets not make it worse by driving the mom and her son crazy by being ass holes.

Well the boy he KILLED was a good boy too! Ya know no one in the worlds perfect! Yes it is a bad situation for everyone, but you dont go to a small town (very small) and kill someone and not expect to piss ppl off, if someone came to your town and killed one of your family members because someone was being stupid what the hell would you do go give them a hug come on, he took it to the extreme, so let the stupid boy pay the price, at least you can still talk and go see a the killer you can't the dead !!!!!!!!!!

The boy he killed was in a bar fight..and he wasn't a boy he was a man..a man that apparently beat Ervin up pretty bad before he got stabbed. A man whose father divorced his mother and started cooking meth and receiving stolen property apparently..apparently Billy had problems. His family and friends are running around town threatening to hurt people who weren't even involved or present, terrorizing Ervin's innocent, grieving mother. I'm sure they are VERY nice people too..huh?Maybe after the first time Billy was stabbed he should have run away? No, stay and get stabbed 5 more times, that sounds 'non-confrontational' of him..here's an idea- don't get in bar fights. I can guarantee Billy was bigger than Ervin. Why would you stab someone that you can take in a fight? You wouldn't. Especially someone who's never been arrested for a violent crime in their life. The only explanation of a non-violent person stabbing and killing another is that they were afraid for their own safety.Perhaps you should try to view the scenario with a little less home-town bias? Ervin lived there too you know? Just because no one knew Ervin enough to write about him in the paper doesn't make him the cliched madman who trolled the bars looking for fights.I'd bet $1000 this is what happened; Ervin was looking for some weed, he asked Billy and his friends, who told him they could get some, and then proceeded to jump him and try to rob him. I can almost guarantee it. If Ervin was going to kill someone in cold blood why would he admit to having done so to the police before Billy even died? Going to put my money on self defense, having the benefit of knowing Ervin, and if he was violent at all I would be in your camp in a heartbeat, seriously. But Billy? Hunter, jock, from a broken home..no let's say that it was this guy who was never arrested for anything but underage drinking in his life who instigated the argument and killed the guy in cold blood. That makes sense?Ervin aspired to be a stand up comedian. Sounds like a cold-blooded killer to me for sure, you know Jeffery Dahmer AND Charlie Manson both moonlighted as comics?If you've been on earth any period of time you know timid people don't stab people just because. It usually requires them being fearful of their lives..

Folks, 2 mothers losts theirs sons. One to death and one to God knows what. Please, quit the he said, she said. Please quit the well I think and this is my opinion. And yes, I knew Billy, lovcd the boy, and no, I didn't know Ervin but I still grieve for his family. The family of BOTH read this. They are both trying to find answers. They don't need to read what is being put on here.

Before you post, please think that thier mom or sister or brother or even their grandparents are reading this. They are hurting enough.

I'm curious about something. Seems like Anonymous from Warner Robins GA has quite a bit of "insider" information on something that happened several hundred miles away. What's your connection/involvement in all this??

i know ervin personally and i know that more than one guy jumped on him i not saying that he should have died but you can't just pick on someone cause there not like you .i see this as self defense .ill pray for the best

I have had a couple friends killed, and the people that killed them got away with self defense. I think that's just a wimpy way of getting out of it. Don't play God, and take someones life because it will come back to bite you in the butt!!!!

"ROB HIM" I doubt that one, Just because someone's a Hunter, jock and from a broken home, do you know how many ppl in this world that describes,and just because he admitted it before Billy died that doesn't mean anything, sounds like he was looking for an excuse, I mean who would want to be charged with murder, Wouldn't you say anything to get out of trouble, I wasn't there and i'm guessing neither were you, but robbing him I just dont see that, These ppl work for a living, BUT robbing him gotta disagree with that one think of something else, like i'v said before it will all come out in the end Karma it's alway a B***H, I feel for both side's I couldn't imagin the loss of a child or have a child locked up for the rest of his life but at least she can still visit her son in jail see him talk to him Billys family can't do that all they can do is talk to HeadStone now that's sad,

I know Ervin's family and close friends, I have talked to the reporter who wrote the write-up in the OK paper and talked to the sheriff's dept. Plus, I'm a former street-urchin and I know the streets, so some of it is just street smarts lending to figuring out how these scenarios occur, having been close to them on numerous occasions in the past.

I never knew billy jr. but i do know his dad and maybe he does have meth charges and stolen vehicle charges but those arent violent crimes.and maybe he wasnt around much when he was growing up so billy jr. was his own man.and from what i gather a damn fine young man.noone is perfect.and life is no fairy tail. but the young man who took billys life will have to answer to god. and better believe HES GOING TO HELL. god doesnt forgive taking another human life. he will wish he was where billy is..........
